WH finally releases their own photos of WH meeting w/Russian FM... no Kislyak

...conspicuously absent from those official photos of the closed-door meeting are any images of Kislyak and Trump, the Russian ambassador whose conversations with Gen.

President Trump shares a laugh with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak (Russian Foreign Ministry/ Flickr)

During yesterday’s meeting with Russian officials, President Trump banned all American press from attending. News outlets weren’t even allowed to take customary pre-meeting photos. But Russian state media were there. And they’ve kindly shared photos from the meeting on Flickr, complete with a Creative Commons license!

If you head over to the official White House Flickr page, you may notice something a bit less newsworthy than Trump’s controversial meeting with America’s former Cold War adversaries. Namely, you’ll find a photo of a rabbit. Specifically, Mike Pence’s rabbit, Marlon Bundo.

Yes, while the White House Flickr page is posting photos of a rabbit, the Russian Foreign Ministry Flickr page shows us Russian officials Sergey Lavrov and Sergey Kislyak sharing a laugh with President Trump yesterday.

Former US intelligence officials voiced their displeasure with letting Russian media and camera equipment into the Oval Office. Frankly, it’s a security nightmare. But at least we know that Marlon Bundo, a rabbit that the White House Flickr account explains also goes by the name BOTUS, recently visited the White House for the first time.
